B cells are responsible for the production of antibodies - which are proteins that identify and help to neutralise foreign bodies (such as bacteria).
They also form B memory cells, which are important for the rapid response when exposed to a particular antigen for the second time.

What are B cells plasma cells and antibodies a part of?
Humoral immunity
What immunity results when millions of memory b cells remain in the body?
Memory b cells provide long term immunity for a specific disease or antigen. As an example a vaccination for hepatitis A provides memory b cells that will attack the disease when it is present and remove it.
Immune response in which b cells transform into plasma cells secret anti bodies?
humoral immunity
B cells and T cells are two types of?
B cells and T cells are two types of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell found in cell mediated immunity.
Adaptive immunity is produced by which cell?
There are many cells involved in adaptive immunity and requires them to work together for a fully functional adaptive response. These cells include: CD4 (Th1 & Th2) T cells, B cells (plasma and memory), professional antigen presenting (APC) cells that include: dendritic cell, B cells and macrophages.
What role do memory cells play in immunity?
no
B cells plasma cells and antibodies are part of?
Humoral immunity
What are B cells plasma cells and antibodies a part of?
Humoral immunity
Functions of lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes have a <protective role>. Particular function depends on the type of lymphocytes. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies). Protective functions are done through: lysis of virually infected cells or tumor cells, realease of cytokines and growth factors to stimulate otherimmune cells, immunoregulation and cytotoxicity, destruction of virally infected cells, secretion of antibodies
What type of immunity are b cells and antibodies?
Part of humoral
What develops from b cells and secrete large bodies of antibodies?
B cells (humoral immunity) differentiate into plasma cells which synthesize antibodies.
What immunity results when millions of memory b cells remain in the body?
Memory b cells provide long term immunity for a specific disease or antigen. As an example a vaccination for hepatitis A provides memory b cells that will attack the disease when it is present and remove it.
What cells types are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity?
The b cells are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity.
Immune response in which b cells transform into plasma cells secret anti bodies?
humoral immunity
What is also known as B lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes play a role in body's natural defense. They are comprised of B cells and T cells. T cells are cellular mediators of immunity whereas B cells differentite into immunoglobulin-synthesizing plasma cells. If T cells are fighters, B cells like to 'prepare' by synthesizing antibodies to the invading antigens.
B cells and T cells are two types of?
B cells and T cells are two types of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell found in cell mediated immunity.
Adaptive immunity is produced by which cell?
There are many cells involved in adaptive immunity and requires them to work together for a fully functional adaptive response.
